I need to create a webpage for a family website that has a video section in it. There are about 50 videos that the server will be hosting. I'm looking for an photo album like list where people can scroll through and click on a video and start watching it. Are there any good webpage templates that someone can point me to?
How about zenphoto? http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=1126

How does one insert a video in a manner done in websites such as http://www.leadpages.net? where the video plays the moment the site is loaded and auto replays without any play buttons/full screen options/etc. It behaves in a way similar to that of gifs
My site uses wordpress/divi theme
WordPress comes with a cool feature called auto-embed. It can automatically get the embed code for video from video sites like YouTube and many more.
All you need to do is paste the video URL into the post editor. Make sure that the URL is in it’s own line and not clickable (hyperlinked), and that you are using the visual editor :)
I am working on a site that will allow users to upload their videos on my site, for example a dance performance. I am using <iframe></iframe> to embed video. Everything was going fine, but suddenly I noticed YouTube is restricting some videos to play on my site.
In my case the error was:
I know some users have asked similar questions like 'why it is happening' etc. I know it has to do with some copyright issues, for example a dance performance may have a background music playing which happens to be someone others property. The thing is, I am not 'claiming' copyrights and even, not me but my users will upload their videos from their YouTube accounts(using URL).
So Is there anyway to play all those videos like if I can request YouTube to let my site play those videos with a disclaimer explaining that my site doesn't have copyrights of these videos?
Does using iframe to point at the non-embedded youtube widget work? If so you could use javascript to extract the player from the regular youtube.
Not sure about the legality of that.
What are you trying to do? Potentially you could use the youtube api and make a mobile app that is not embedding videos.
I have built a web site for our student tv station and the concept is pretty similar to youtube. We would like for our videos to be playable directly in facebook when shared, with the videos themselves still hosted on our server and our stats being updated.
The player on the site uses videojs and is all working with the html5 video tag. There is also an embeddable version of the player that can run in an iframe. Ideally I'd like this to be used on facebook but don't think it's possible. This is what I've attempted at the moment with the og:video:type value set to text/html and og:video set to the embeddable player url and it doesn't appear to work. Here is an example page, and here is the embeddable player for it.
The only other ways I've seen is to specify a url to the video file, or a url to a flash player.
All of our videos are rendered at different qualities/resolutions and on our site and embeddable player there is a quality selection bar that changes the video url in the player. However it looks like with opengraph and facebook there is no way of giving it the urls to the different qualities or having the user pick the one they want on facebook, meaning we're stuck with forcing everyone to watch at one of the qualities. Is this right?
So then the only other option that appears to be available is building a custom flash player which has quality selection built into it. From what I can tell this is what youtube is doing. Is this the only option though because I don't want to build a custom flash player for Facebook to then decide in a few months that they're not supporting flash anymore?
I realise similar questions have been asked already but I couldn't find a definite answer and some of them were over a year old.
Thanks.
Facebook is currently trialing iframes with YouTube. Hopefully the support will be rolled out to everyone soon.
More info at this question: Embedding video player html5 iframe in facebook share like YouTube
I want to embed videos from different video sites like YouTube, Vimeo and so on...
But I have a problem:
The Skins of the players are all different
and I want a consistent video skin.
Is there any possiblity to get this work?
I can't host the videos on my server because I have to pay for the traffic
and that would make me poor =(
I know that Youtube at least has a chromeless player, you can check out the API here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html#GettingStarted
I don't know about any of the other sites, though. I'd try Googling the name of the site and "chromeless" or "api" to see what comes up.
Simply put, no. The video site content has to include the skin for each site, unless you rip the video out and self-host it.
There's a reason for this, and I doubt you'd want to see the sites all fold/go paid because of people hijacking content without attribution.
Try Media Element JS
It wraps your youtube and vimeo video to a HTML5 video, no need to host the video on your website. The script from the website can take youtube and vimeo videos and make convert them into HTML5 video.
One side effect of this script is that since it can convert both Youtube and vimeo videos to HTML5 then the players will be the exact same for both of them.
Hope that helps,

I have one video file inmy system I want it to attach it on my html page.I want same thing with youtube videos also.I want that when i open my html form this video appear as like same as pictures are seen at thumnails.means i dont want only links..I tried stackoverflow links but no one is telling from starting .I am telling u frankly i dont know even making a link of my sytem video file in html form,..I can make links for image,files etc but for video si dont know.So plz guide ..
1.HOw to make a simple link of video file which is in my system drive.
2.HOw this video will be displayed like pictures are displayed at thumbnails
3.How to upload youtube videos(not want only link)...
If you have a video file then you need an image to represent your thumbnail. To create a link that will allow someone to download the video is as simple as:
<a href="url of your video file">
<img src="url of the thumbnail image"/>
</a>
Then the user will see the thumbnail image and when they click on it they will get the video. If you wish to embed the video in a player you can select the player of choice such as FlowPlayer or any of a million others.
You question about you-tube I assume you mean to embed you-tube videos on yout site. If that is the case visit the video on you-tube and there is an embed text box on the page with the code that you must copy and paste into your site.
EDIT:
The FlowPlayer that I linked to (not an endorsement) has a page that describes in great detail how to do what you are asking for here. If you follow each step then you will get exactly what you envision.
Another Edit:
To play a particular file format you need to use an appropriate player. I do not know all the players but you want to make sure that the format you use is popular enough so that users do not have to download special plugins just to see your video.
If you visit the DivX website you will find their embeddable player that can play mkv files on your website. They have a Code Generator that produces the code that you will use to embed the player on your site.
As for various options like starting in pause mode etc you will have to read the documentation of the player that you use to see what options they allow.
you an download ny video from youtube and these videos are in .flv format so why u are taking tension.Just use them frequently.And for youtube videos u do not need to use flowplay just add youtube video url and add object that will be given in that page just above the related video..
But me too do not how to allign it on right side or in middle of the page..Can anybody tell..
